The Pennine Way Part 7 The Magic of the Waterfall

You had me scratching my head there... Heather's Meadow? It was Hannah's meadow, named in honour of Hannah Hauxwell (1926-2018) who had farmed that smallholding since 1961 surviving on about £250 per year without electricity or running water. Several TV documentaries were made about her and she found deserved fame in later life. I met her in 1976 whilst walking the PW 'the wrong way' She was incredibly humble and couldnt understand why anyone would want to walk from Scotland to Derbyshire. Amazing lady - she farmed that land organically, decades before it was popular. In her case it was from necessity.

yes of course our mistake, she would have been an amazing lady to have met.
